Image's 'The Sword' enters final arc

Image Comics' limited series The Sword will conclude with issue #24, creators Jonathan and Joshua Luna have revealed.

Introduced by the brothers in 2007, the series focuses on a young paraplegic named Dara Brighton, who discovers a magical sword and uses it to avenge her family's murder. The book is currently four issues from completion.

"With each victory, Dara's assuredness has been steadily building in the past issues, but in issue #20, she will be humbled," Joshua Luna told Newsarama.

"This is where she really begins to realize what kind of enemy she is fighting. While Zakros controlled water and Knossos controlled air, Malia possesses the power to manipulate the air. So, Dara will come to understand just how difficult it is to swing a sword at things you can't quite touch."

Image will release its third collection of the comic book later this month. The Sword #20 is now available to preorder.
